Naw, it's fine. The fair approach is that you have to play Ryan Stevenson in goal for a further 8 games, against the other sides in the league.

sergie's no1 fan Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 It's not over yet anyway, this is a completely different team from the shambles we had before January. We should win more games than Raith and Ayr from now until the end of the season, it's just a matter of how many we can manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so right. We are now down. Not looking forward to the mauling next week in the streets of Raith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess at least 6 wins maybe more to catch us, Raith or Dumbarton. Do that and you deserve to stay up tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be hoping to beat Ayr in our next meeting and win both fixtures against Raith to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadroj Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Seen some highlights of the last couple of saints games and McGinn looks a really classy player. His goal against TNS in particular was an absolute cracker. Interested to hear whether saints fans feel he would be comfortable at premiership level? I know he was with Dundee but as far as I can remember he never done anything outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a Comfortable premiership player 8 years ago when he got his move to Watford and has improved significantly since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a regular in his first season in the Championship and then suffered a cruciate injury that kept him out for about 15 months. After that I think Watford were at the start of their mad Italian phase and he sort of got left behind, tried to break back in for another year or two but damage was done.

North Terrace Gazza Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 When you look at the form of the bottom 4 and I have seen them all over the past few weeks then St Mirren look favourites to finish 7th, at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Mirren staying up is now a realistic prospect for the first time in months, but I still can't see Dumbarton going down. It sounds a daft thing to say when they're only one point ahead of Raith and two ahead of Ayr, but they're always likely to grind out the occasional unexpected win and you can't say the same about Ayr and Raith. Obviously one win could be the impetus for Ayr or Raith to push on and get more wins - we'll see if that happens for Ayr now - but I'm inclined to think the head to heads v the other teams in the fight are your only real chance of winning, it'd be a big shock if you turned over Falkirk or Dundee Utd like Dumbarton have. If Raith are going to turn it around, then it really has to start v St. Mirren next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The great advantage we now have is that, unless you have played us recently, everyone still thinks we are the same shit team that Alex Rae had created. Our 10 new recruits are all, (maybe besides Loy who has still to show it), far superior to the 10 they replaced. This is a different team with a different attitude that will surprise future opponents.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team in this league will have St Mirren watched, even more so after last nights result. It might be surprising to the fans, but I'd expect any team in this league to well aware of the threat you carry now. Doesn't mean they'll be able to stop you of course, but I don't believe for a second teams are showing up to play you expecting the same team from August.

Ayr and Hibs fans thought we were there for the taking. You have see us and know we are a different prospect now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
